Fuse

This article is about the obstacle from the Qix series. For the developer of Mario Pinball Land formerly known as Fuse Games, see Silverball Studios.

Fuses are obstacles of the Qix games. They are Sparx created on the player's line if the player stops for a long time while the line is being made. The fuse will depart from the attached line and will reach the Marker, causing a life loss if it manages to reach it.

In the first storyline of the Super Mario Land 4 manga, Mario and his friends are challenged by Qix Daiō into facing three minions in a real-life game of Qix. One singular Fuse appears in the story: during Peach's turn, between escaping the Qix and the Sparx, she sits to catch her breath, only to be eliminated when a Fuse sneaks up on her, blowing her out of the arena. Like the Sparx, the Fuse is depicted with an angry expression, but with bigger eyes and a malicious smile.

In the last chapter of Super Mario Land 4, a Goomba analyzes how each of the characters plays Qix: Bowser is seen making a spiral, only to be killed by a Fuse, and the Goomba deems him as "a guy that would imitate Tarzan, only to get tangled in the vines."
